Newbottle 2008
This year the annual trip to Newbottle happened on the last
Saturday in November - rather than early December. No matter there was
an adequate turn out and we were all appreciative of the hot cups of
coffee that were waiting for us at the door of the Manor. We all
gathered for our traditional group photo and then we all set off into
the cold misty morning to work the dogs.
They were all enthusiastic to
get going, these dogs are not generally used in trials but happily work
with their owners around the country - at various levels. All have fun
at one of the most relaxed WCSS events of the year - after all this is a
wonderful relaxed and friendly social event ..
The day was caught
for us by David Clifton with his walking stick - yes it did have a
camera on it! Susie Woods had her camera - scroll down for her photos...
